The most misunderstood type of all Myers-Briggs Pesonality Type (MBTI) are the INTPs or the Introvert-Intuitive-Thinker-Persevere, and here we'll take a look at them on the inside, in what they are made of and what they are like in real life.
I happen to get confused watching the anime Naruto, for some of the characters are somewhat familiar and different at the same time.
And this is the fruit of my research or Naruto binge watching for months. As a fellow INTP, I observe these points and write them down here. These are what I've written so far,
This INTP might internalize everything to the point hurting his own feelings making it harder for them to make some friends. Friendship is a bit questionable for them because of their gut-feeling/intuition, in a sense that intuition makes us realize that something is wrong and begin to question reality making it impossible to find answers easily that it halts their idea of friendship at some point. They also uses a few words which others might find a bit insulting.
The best example of this INTP is Gaara of the Sand, a really talented but internal person who hides in a persona of unfazed and deadly, who later was found to have a vulnerable inner-self. It may also look that he is an INFP but it was only because he matured a lot that his inner-self and outer-self merge into one.
I also happen to belong to this type of INTP that upon seeing Gaara I searched among the anime (Naruto) if there could be other INTPs as well to research about.
Not only this INTP an overthinker but slack as well. Thinking make people pause a bit, but what if you were an overthinker? It would make you waste time lazing out. Finding out answers instead of questioning things is also time consuming which make a thinker INTP reject activities required for the day. It is not that these INTPs read books and ingest information as a hobby but what they seek are answers to all their questions in life.
The best person for this type of INTP is Shikamaru Nara, which used to slack a lot, but when he found a great hobby that stimulates his thinking, he did better than before and improve in other parts of his life.
Being the most introverted than the rest of the INTPs is a bit troublesome. Not to mention the overly self-conscious in front of others part. They may know the right words to say but being with others makes them socially anxious that it harms their ability to make friends.
The high introversion have become a burden to these INTPs because it affects how people view them than how they view other people. They may be functional on the inside but it's not readily seen on the outside. That side of them needed much of a support that these INTPs needed to read a lot and practice what they learned before they too could learn to establish a good relationship with others.
The best example for this type of INTP is Sai of the Anbu Police, he may do well as a spy but outside work he failed to understand people personally and he dedicate a lot of time to learn much about people that in time people learned to accept that side of him.
Lazing around is not really what motivates them but they would tend to finish their work fast to have more time sleeping. They are slow talker, even opening-up their eyes is an effort to do. Their eyes aren't soul-less compared to the intuitive INTP, but it lacks enough motivation to even blink. Most of these INTP type will always get things done with as little effort as possible by finding an easier way out because their attention-span is highly limited and their motivation is also attached to it.
The best people that describe this INTP type is Agares (in the anime Mairiimashita Iruma-kun), and Hatake Kakashi (in Naruto). Although these people cover a part of their face, but let us only focus on Kakashi here, I believe that he did well in life as an INTP because he covered a part his face at since he was still so little. INTPs are deemed intelligent and talented at some point but being too intuitive and too introverted cripples most of their lives, also add the overthinking part but since Kakashi covered half of his face it tend to lessen the impact the world has to him that he did better in life by being less socially anxious and not overthink.
Here is Shikamaru falling asleep again.

There might be additional information that I didn't type here but feel free to mention them. I did research them from the anime Naruto which to my guess, the anime creator might also be an INTP. It's great to see that INTPs do better in movies/anime than in the real life. I too learned to find myself in watching anime and in reading a lot. And also in finding about the Myers-Briggs personality type.
This research is fun, I hope you had fun too reading this alien/robot type of information.
